And from what I typically put on the spoon I believe I'd been just under 15 ml (maybe 13?) with no reaction. I'm really just guessing though. I think you are likely correct, and it is the Niacin.
Yes, I think it is the Niacin. you can try blocking that reaction by taking an aspirin 1/2 hr before taking this.(If you are allowed aspirin, that is, by your doctor).
Make sure this liquid has an current expiration date, as vitamin liquids tend to be less stable than tablets.

There is a flushing warning on the label, and it says to take with food. If you do that you risk losing the B12 absorption, so your options are to buy a separate B12 and take that properly on an empty stomach, or take this liquid on an empty stomach which will likely increase the flushing risk of the niacin. Your decision.
